Speed of the Cheetah but brain of a caveman..

Yes..yes..is a few years back but hey since when stupidity ever expire right??..
(12 April 2004, Netherlands) Certain land animals have evolved over the millennia to use speed in the pursuit of prey or avoidance of predators. The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) can run as fast as 60 mph over the plains of Africa, and the pronghorn antelope (Antilocapra americana) can reach 55 mph over the plains of North America. Humans (Homo sapiens) are not among these animals built for speed. The very fastest human can achieve a maximum sprint of 16 mph for short distances.
So things were bound to go wrong when a 19-year-old male, driving the A67 highway near the Dutch town of Blerick, sought to impress his two passengers by putting his car on cruise control at 20 mph, getting out of the car, and running alongside it. He planned to jump back in and drive on, but the moment his feet hit the ground, he fell over and slammed headfirst into the asphalt. He was admitted to the hospital with severe brain damage, and died the next day.

Now the ironic part of this story is does he have a brain to start with??Moral of the story??Don't ever jump out of a moving car.Period.

No matter how long the stop takes or how long one driving experience has in his/her entire life. And secondly the parking brakes are installed for a reason. It pays to use it when parking. Where Mr.Lee fail in common sense makes up in creativity or in this case uniqueness on how to get a first class ticket boarding flight to St. Peter’ gate. As Mr.Lee got down from his 3 tonne truck to unload the bricks he left the engine running while uploading the brick from the back of the truck. The 3 tonne truck moved backwar...
